Is anyone still using speedotron studio lights? Would you be interested in more gear?

I'm still using them. Not really interested in anything at the moment though outside of a Fresnel or spare 202vf bulbs. I don't think very many people use them that often anymore. There's virtually no advertising or web presence for them, I've recently discovered that their customer service leaves a lot to be desired, and they haven't innovated their products in forever. It's a shame as they're good/reliable lights.

I just fired up the speedotron 105 for a high-speed test just a hour ago. I used the head for a test of splashes.. I am thinking of doing those 'splash art' of models, but with the UV glow. I am using the older MW24Q tubes for the better UV pops under the UV-A pass filter from a Broncolor attachment. And it looks like I can get the fast capture and high power for the splash art.

Also using them still, started with them when they first came out with the 200 series heads (the black plastic focusable ones).

Don't need more, but you may be able to ebay them if you price them at what they're selling for.
